Economy Farmers filing for bankruptcy.

[Mr Holmes]

Cool , that wasn't the point of my post , I was clarifying that farmers do rely on USAID for revenue.

However what do you think might happen to farmers who used to rely on USAID but no longer can ?

The article in the OP talks about commodity prices. How many farmers went bankrupt because of USAID?

You do realize Cargill only owns the elevators, right?
They’re part of the reason farmers are getting screwed.

You guys have to understand just how interconnected farmer economic stability is tied to USAID.

Essentially, farming doesn't make money because we produce more food than the nation needs to support itself -- too much supply. However, if we reduced farming to just US needs, the farming industry itself would die -- not enough demand. So, the US government, through organizations like USAID, buys a shit ton of US agricultural production and then redistributes it around the world. This creates the demand that justifies our farming industry producing enough food to stay solvent.

When USAID starts cancelling contracts and other projects, part of what that money was buying was from US farmers. Without that income, many farmers run the risk of not being able to sell their supply. This means that either prices drop, hurting them, or the supply sits unbought and they eat the storage costs, also hurting them.

In Pawnee County, Kan., some farmers are rethinking their spring planting plans. With the sudden dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), sorghum farmers are worried there won’t be a market for their product. They’re not alone. At least 400 producers around the country rely on contracts with USAID, and many more rely on the agency without even knowing it.

“USAID often buys from grain elevators, so that impacts smaller farmers,” says Jordan Schermerhorn, a recently furloughed USAID contractor who worked with two countries in Asia. “Tons of small farmers provide USAID assistance without even knowing it.”

USAID spent about $5 billion in food assistance globally in the 2023/24 fiscal year, with roughly $2 billion of that going to purchase U.S. commodities.

Big farms might be able to weather the storm but the smaller guys with narrower margins are going to suffer.

The bankruptcy numbers are just an indication that the trickle down effect is starting to take a toll.

Trump isn't my boy, and I don't support him,

 

[curryjunkie]

Why did they need a bailout in the first place smarty pants ?

Because trump started a trade war and the ass fell out of the soybean market, hope this helps...
